I've often wondered that as well.
I also wondered why the original show had Bogg's Omni hard-coded so it couldn't go any later than 1970. They never explained that part.

Or why he almost always wore the same outfit regardless of time period.
So many things to nitpick in Voyagers.. The clothes thing always bugged me, wouldn't they stand out?
Pretty common in 80s programming. Characters always wore the same outfit.
In the pilot he was going to see Columbus, so it made sense. In other episodes, the outfit didn't really work. And some episodes he would change clothes, which made sense again. As a kid, I found it entertaining. I wish it would have gone for more than one season.
So I saw on YouTube a news story about a nun that was dug up after being buried four years ago that apparently didn’t decompose. The story also said that she wasn’t embalmed.
Lots of questions. Why did they dig her back up after four years? Why wasn’t she embalmed? And finally why do people want to see her? I don’t get it.
Is it common practice that if you’re a nun they dig you back up after four years? If so, when did this practice start? And what do they hope to find?
This is the first I ever heard of this.

Is she being considered for canonization, perhaps?
IIRC, that’s one of the items on the ‘checklist’ (for want of a term) that is done, to show that the person is incorruptible, and thus ‘saintly’ or of ‘saintly demeanor’.
(Note: I’m sure I’m botching the terms and what not, being nowhere near a diehard or devout person, so bear with me/apologies, etc.)

It would depend on the circumstances of her death.
4 years seems short but maybe the rules have changed.
IGN hey? Are they even worthy?
Please forgive my ignorance, but just curious as to how exhuming the body shows that one way or the other?
I grew up Catholic, and this is the first time I ever heard of this practice of digging someone back up other than for criminal investigations. That's what peaked my curiosity. I didn't know people were dug back up for other stuff.
Watch the first and third one and the named ones. Two is pretty bad. That's my go to for MI. It's all on P+ now.
I've always been more of a fan of the Peter Graves version.
I agree. It's great. You can catch episodes on PlutoTV.
Did you catch the 80s remake?
Nope, I Missed... it.

John de Lancie is in the pilot episode. You can find some episodes by searching for it on YouTube. No idea why this isn't on P+ or PlutoTV.

They were going to move her body and inter it elsewhere (in a monastery chapel ) when they found that she hadn't decomposed. I guess that's one of the criteria for becoming a saint. People are coming from all over to see this nun. Kinda creepy.
The last funeral I went to the coffin was put into a concrete container with a lid. I get moving her, but why did they open the coffin? I'm trying to wrap my head around this. And why wasn't she embalmed? And why was this advertised to the world? There are even more news stories about this in my new feed on YouTube.
I don't get the reason why people are traveling to see here. That is making this out to be a carnival attraction, which is presumed to be a hustle/fraud. Brings me back to my readings about Houdini debunking mediums and other spiritualists.
At what point does an animal species stop being feral/unowned invasive species and be considered native? This keeps coming up with Mustangs, because they've been in some places for hundreds of years living completely wild, with no human involvement in their day to day lives, but people skill keep calling them feral/unowned.
I had always assumed once you were at least two or three generations out from humans taking care of a group of animals, they would stop being feral, and just be wild. I'm assuming there's got to be some kind of a rule or cutoff point or something, it would be kind of silly to refer to something as feral/unowned, when it's been wild longer than it was domesticated.
